Booker T thinks a monster version of Nia Jax would be a big draw.

WWE released former Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax in November 2021. She made a one-off return at WWE Royal Rumble 2023. Jax then fully returned on the September 11 episode of WWE Raw, and she has been a featured member of the roster ever since. Jax will challenge for the WWE Women’s World Championship in a Fatal Five-Way Match at WWE Crown Jewel.

Speaking on The Hall of Fame with Booker T and Brad Gilmore, one listener brought up the match and a potential title run for Jax. Booker T stated that Jax should have gotten a run a long time ago. He also shared his belief that a monster version of Jax would sell tickets.

“I said Nia should have a run with the belt a long time ago, way before she left the company and all that. But I also said if you can get the belt on Nia, who’s gonna beat her? Who’s gonna take it away from her? It’s one of those type of things, like booking yourself in a corner. I do wanna see Nia Jax in that monster role, but it’s kind of hard when I watch Nia because she’s a beautiful girl, and she plays the beautiful girl role, the beautiful monster. I want to see Nia Jax take the gloves off, take the makeup off, and just come out there and beat the hell out of somebody. That Nia Jax right there is the Nia Jax that will sell some tickets. We need a monster like Awesome Kong to come in and turn everything upside down,” Booker T said.

Nia Jax has expressed her excitement about working with powerhouses in WWE. Check out her comments here.
